CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2002-2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer is known for many things, but perhaps it is most famous for its faulty fuel gauge.

This gauge flip-flops more than a politician during election season. Some report that the gauge says "empty" after a fill-up, while others report the gauge says "full" when they're running on fumes. Either way, there's one thing everyone seems to agree on: the darn thing is just wrong.

Following hundreds of complaints and a few accidents allegedly caused by the malfunction, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) opened an investigation into the issue in May 2011. Unfortunately for frustrated owners, no recall has been announced.

Not sure what is going on with it. I have a check engine light that is on. Brought it to NAPA, they checked the code and it says fuel emissions error. Guy at NAPA said it might be the fuel cap or something with the fuel system. I have no issues with the performance of the vehicle so i'm assuming it's the fuel cap. Just leaving it the way it is for now.
